This song is about a murder that happened in the 90’s. A 14 year old, John Hron, was brutally tortured and murdered by four Neo Nazis.
He died by drowning.
This time John, you'll make it
You're back in real time
A second chance so take it
Your film is on rewind
One of us will hit you
The others hold you down
We'll mark you, mud and soil you
We'll throw you in to drown
We'll beat you up as badly
We'll throw you out as far
You're struggling just as madly
You're breathing just as hard
But you're still floating
And you're still floating
And you're still floating
And you're still floating
